Dodgers to Play in Las Vegas

Now this is a Spring Training event I can get behind. The Dodger will be playing a Spring Training exhibition game at Cashman Field in Las Vegas for the 2nd consecutive year. From the Dodgers press release:

The Dodgers announced today that the club will play a Spring Training game against the Chicago Cubs at Cashman Field in Las Vegas on Sunday, March 13, 2011. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and the Las Vegas 51s of the Pacific Coast League (PCL), Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays will host both clubs at Cashman Field for this exhibition game.

The Dodgers will return to Cashman Field for the second straight season and sixth overall appearance (2001-03, 2006, 2010). The Las Vegas 51s were the farm club of the Dodgers for eight seasons (2001-2008). Game time will be announced at a later date.

Ticket information is not available yet, but I suspect it will be coming soon. More information available here at the Las Vegas 51's website. The Cubs will also be playing the Reds the day before, March 12, at Cashman Field.
